This course, led by Liana Lianov, MD, MPH, FACLM, FACPM, DipABLM, and funded through the generous support of the Ardmore Institute of Health, was created to describe and apply approaches that support health professionals in achieving and sustaining a total healthy lifestyle, including eating a whole food, plant-based diet, being physically active and engaging in mindfulness and positive psychology activities. The course offers exercises to harness personal strengths and leadership skills for improving workplace culture/systems and to engage in effective, positive health care team and patient interactions. Learners will also conduct a well-being assessment and develop a personal action plan.
Learning Objectives

- Apply positive psychology activities for emotional well-being and physical health and to support healthy behaviors.

Physician and Health Professional Well-being Train-the-Trainer Workshop Package Description:
The Physician and Health Professional Well-being Train-the-Trainer workshop package is an accompanying complimentary course component that allow clinicians who have taken the course the opportunity to easily deliver a Physician and Health Professional Wellbeing workshop within their own institutions and organizations. This Train-the-Trainer Workshop Package includes training modules on how to deliver a Physician and Health Professional Wellbeing workshop as well as all of the educational, exercise and workbook materials needed for delivering workshops of various lengths.
The aims of the Train-the-Trainer program workshop are: 1) to help health professionals learn ways to maintain and improve their physical and emotional well-being, manage their stress levels, and achieve flourishing and 2) to inspire physicians and health professionals to apply these lessons with their patients. We hope that after taking the course, you feel empowered to not only apply the self-care principals that are outlined within the course, but to also share this valuable information with the clinicians in your organization.
This course was a much needed reflection and the perfect nudge I needed to move me towards implementing tools for better self-care and advocating for system changes to reduce burnout.
This course allowed me to advocate more for the importance of provider health from a leadership perspective. As a clinic chief, my focus has been on the health and well-being of my staff which in turn is positively affecting patient care; the resources and studies outlined have provided me with additional support to be an even greater advocate for organizational change.

Positive Psychology in Lifestyle Medicine and Health Care: Strategies for Implementation
American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine
April 2019
Many of my clients and students struggle to implement sustainable behavior changes just by focusing on their goals. Behavior change begins in the mind and this course provided many strategies for engaging with positive emotions that can lead to healthier outcomes. Now I feel confident helping others to practice gratitude and mindfulness, improving social connections, and finding meaning and purpose in every day events.
